Yes, Pro-Ject turntables sound quite good. My suggestion would be to consider the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. Depending on where you buy, you can get demo models for $299. As you go up the Pro-Ject line, you'll find that much of what changes is cosmetic. Spend the savings you generate on the table and fit it with a nice cartridge. Personally, I purchased a demo Pro-Ject Debut Carbon and fitted it with an Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge. Sweet. Good luck.
